Boat Launches and Docks

There are five public boat launches located around Lake Springfield at:

n I-55, exit 88 (Lake Springfield Marina Boat Launch. You can also obtain boat licenses at the Marina.)
n Lindsay Bridge (One of the boat docks located at this launch area is wheelchair accessible. You can also obtain boat licenses at this facility.)
n Marine Point (for small boats, wave runners, windsurfers and canoes)
n Center Park (north of the Beach House; particularly suited for sailboats but usable by all types of craft; this launch is wheelchair accessible.)
n Spaulding Dam (This facility has a wheelchair-accessible dock.)

In addition to these launches, there are also public boat docking areas at six of the lake-area parks: Tom Madonia Parks (East and West), Lake Park, Bridgeview Park, West Cottonhill Park, and the Wildlife Sanctuary (near the shelter). For a map showing the location of these parks, click here.
